Armoured cable is not rated for direct burial. Use a cable that is rated for direct burial or use a PVC conduit to pull the cable through. PVC burial is two feet, three feet if vehicular traffic will pass over the conduit.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What is bend radius of power cable how can you calculate the bend radius of 3c xlpe 240sqmm armoured cable having diameter of 100mm?
The radius of the curve of the inner edge of the bends shall be at least 6 times the external diameter for armoured cable.
What is the function of cable glands?
Cable Glands cover the whole spectrum of armoured and non-armoured cable and applications from general industrial through increased safety, deluge, flameproof and explosion proof. The Cable Glands are available in Brass as standard with Stainless Steel, Plastic and Aluminium, as an optional material on certain designs. Generally they are used by oil and gas units, electrical cable sealing companies and marine applications. Depending on the applications they are many type of cable gland available like indoor cable glands, outdoor cable glands and cable gland accessories like PVC shrouds, lock nuts and cable ties.
Can you bury an extension cord?
It would be ok for a short time e.g. a day or two but a permanent installations needs an armoured cable. Depending on where it is there might also be regulations about how deep it must be buried. ~ Depending on your country of domicile. Laws in different countrys will have differing views on this practice. However, in general the answer is NO. Extension cables are made for surface use. If they are to be covered it should be with a rubber housing covering any areas that might have people walking over it, where heavy items are carried over it or where anything wheel based will have to cross the cable. If the general public are to cross the area then the cable should be signposted by black and yellow ribbon to show a hazard. Any cable being buried in the ground must be earthed (grounded) and have the required armour levls applied i.e. Armourcore cables.
Why would four core armoured cable be used in a single phase circuit?
Four core armoured cable would be used in a circuit carrying 240 Volts 60 Hz AC that is installed in a location where it could get damaged, such as underground or under water. The 4 cores in the armoured cable would be used as the following conductors for the 240 V 60 Hz circuit: * "Red" hot (120V above Neutral)* "Black" Hot (120V below Neutral)* "Neutral"* "Ground" to protect the circuit, connected to the main incoming supply panel which feeds the circuit.
How do you hook up outside light fixture that has black white green to house wiring with only black and white?
If your house wiring is encased in armoured (metal) sheathing back to the panel, then you can secure the green ground to the ground screw in the box. Make sure the armoured cable connector is tight on the box. This should ground the light back to the panel. If you are on "knob & tube" I would suggest thinking about re-wiring the house.
How do you cut an armoured cable?
The use of armoured cable is determined by the application that needs an electrical source of voltage. It is a metal sheath cable classification. Armoured cable is used in applications that need mechanical protection usually below a certain elevation. Armoured cable is also usually used on surface wiring. If you have access to an electrical code book there is a whole section on armoured cable. In the CEC the section about armoured cable starts at 12-600 to 12-618.

What is sta cable?
Steel tape armoured(STA) is only used for buried cables or ordinary wear tube, common ground, tunnel laying. For the last of the cable package to protect. Steel tape armoured is one kind of armored cable. General use the left double gap around the package, the lapping gap is not greater 50% of the bandwidth. And the inner steel strip gap should be close to the middle part of the outer strip. Steel tape armoured commonly used galvanized steel and painted steel armor, common specifications can be divided according to the thickness: 0.25mm,0.3mm,0.5mm,0.8mm. Galvanized layer should be uniform and complete, no peeling, cracking, corrosion. The coating layer of painted steel strip should be uniform and continuous, allow a slight sagging, bruises, but may not have a large loss or missed.
